The GM Authority Take

The 7 percent growth rate in Chevy Colorado sales during the third quarter of 2018 is definitely welcome news, until one considers that Toyota Tacoma sales jumped 28 percent during the same time frame. The results enabled the Tacoma to not only remain America’s best-selling midsize pickup truck, but to also sell almost twice as many units as the Colorado.

The Colorado remained the second best-selling midsize truck, outselling the Nissan Frontier as well as the Colorado’s platform mate, the GMC Canyon (see GMC Canyon sales).

We believe that Colorado sales increased in Q3 due to a mix of the following factors:

About Chevrolet Colorado

The Chevrolet Colorado is a mid-size pickup truck. It is currently Chevrolet's smallest pickup truck in the U.S. and Canada, slotting under the full-size Chevrolet Silverado. In Mexico, the Colorado slots above the compact Chevrolet Montana and the similarly-sized S10, but below the Silverado/Cheyenne (the name for some of Silverado's trim levels in Mexico).

The current Colorado was introduced in 2015 and represents the second generation of the Colorado nameplate. The model rides on the GMT-31XX platform shared with the GMC Canyon, as well as the international-market Chevrolet Colorado/S10 and Chevrolet Trailblazer.

The 2018 Chevy Colorado represents the fourth model year of the second-generation Colorado. The vehicle remains highly competitive in its segment, offering two gasoline engines and a diesel motor, which is a segment exclusive. The off-road-specific Colorado ZR2 was launched for the 2017 model year. However, the Colorado family continues to lack various features asked by many present and potential customers, such as a moonroof, a sliding rear window, as well as a range-topping LTZ or High Country trim level.

The 2019 Chevy Colorado represents the fifth model year of the second-generation Colorado. The vehicle sees a new Colorado ZR2 Bison package, new exterior colors, a new 18-inch wheel, black bowties for every ZR2 model. Additionally, the 2019 Colorado gets new set of infotainment systems that represent the third generation of Chevrolet infotainment systems, Type A and Type C USB ports, a second in-cabin microphone, a high-def Rear Vision Camera, UltraSonic Rear Park Assist, a heated steering wheel, and 6-way power driver seat on some models. The street-focused Colorado RST and Z71 Trail Runner off-roader are also added to the lineup. The manual transmission is deleted from the powertrain lineup.

I agree with Scott the 3.5 in the Tacoma is an absolute slug. Right now the Colorado with the 3.6/8 speed is the best overall powertrain. BUT, the new Ranger comes standard with the 2.3 EB and 10 speed and I have no doubt that it will handily outperform the Colorado 3.6 both towing and unloaded. If GM wants to stay competitive nin the midsize segment the Colorado/Canyon need to be updated ASAP with better interior materials and the V6 needs to be replaced with the 2.7 turbo. Keep the 2.5 as the base though. It’s cheap and reliable so it’s perfect for the fleet customers.
